What happens when a washer seal ring fails

Seal rings stop water getting past a joint, whether that's between two hoses, around a shaft, or where a component meets the tub. Rubber hardens with heat and detergent, and rings can flatten, crack or tear when parts are taken apart. A failed seal usually shows up as a slow leak, water under the machine after a wash, or drips and white detergent trails inside the cabinet. Left alone, leaks can rust the cabinet base and reach the motor or electrics. Replace a seal whenever the joint it sits in is opened.

Fitting a new seal ring

Power off at the wall, shut the taps and drain the machine before opening any joint. Clean the groove or seat thoroughly, removing scale and old rubber. Fit the new ring without twisting it, using a little water or the lubricant your service information recommends, never petroleum grease, which swells rubber. Reassemble and run a full wash while watching for leaks.
